wawo really great books. Thanks zaid for posting this article in your blog.
Just checking, but I think items 4 and 5 refer to the same item regarding free online information.
Dear Clay,
Thanks for your observation and feedback :)
The URL provided for "Guide to Online Education - eLearners.com" was actually wrong (duplicated!), and I have updated it now. Correct URL:
http://www.elearners.com/guide-to-online-education/
Thanks again and Cheers!
Zaid
